Chapter 26 Taking Xiao Tao into the city
The harvest in the afternoon was also good. Yue Feng took Xiao Tao to a new place that he had never been to before. In half an afternoon, he caught 11 flying dragons, five of them. Only half chicken.
The old socks used to hold the birds were not enough, so Yue Feng stuffed two low-priced sand-and-half chickens into a pair of socks until they couldn't fit in the back. For the last two sand-and-half chickens, he simply used wire to tip the wings. Tied together with the legs, it really has no effect other than a little impact on the appearance.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was setting, the two brothers returned to the village each carrying a bulging satchel.
Today’s total hawking harvest included 19 flying dragons, 8 sand half chickens (seven whole birds, one fed to the hawks), plus one weasel.
Under Yue Feng's conscious detour, the two brothers did not take the main road. Instead, they took a small path around the farmland on the other side and entered the village. Except for a villager who picked mountain goods, no one else knew what was going on.
When they arrived at the door of their house, the two brothers were not in a hurry to go back. They sat on the ground under the big elm tree in the yard and divided the spoils.
According to the rules of hunting in the mountains in partnership, the leader of the team has two heads, the eagle who works has one share, and the one who is responsible for driving the cane has one share. It is fully counted, and Xiaotao can barely be counted as one who drives the cane, so it should be A quarter of the total gain from today's prey.
Yue Feng was determined to give Xiao Tao more prey, but he was afraid of other consequences if he acted too hastily, so he decided to give Xiao Tao some prey according to the usual rules for the time being.
As for the weasel meat that is not delicious, it is just good for feeding eagles.
Yue Feng wanted Xiao Tao to take some prey home in the evening, but this boy knew that each of these live flying dragons could be sold for one yuan and ten cents, so he refused to take them home and wanted to go to the city tomorrow to sell them together.
We agreed on a time to go to the city early tomorrow morning, and the two brothers went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
When Yue Feng entered the house, he saw two pieces of newly woven three-finger-wide eagle cage mesh hanging on the clothes drying rope in the yard. Under the second mesh, Yue Lei and There is no end at all, the last few knots are tied, the rope is threaded and a small eagle net is ready!
"Dad! Did you just weave a new net today?" Yue Feng was surprised when he saw the net.
Originally, I was thinking that I would not go out to fly hawks during the day when I came back from the city tomorrow and weave a net at home. Unexpectedly, my father was at home and he had made arrangements in advance.
Yue Lei smiled and nodded: "Since we want to catch a few more eagles, a broken riding cage net will be enough! I've also prepared a three-piece set for you to tie the eagles to, and I've also prepared a luring cage. They are all kept in the warehouse."
Yue Feng opened the warehouse and took a look. There were five or six sparrows in each of the two finely woven rolling cages. This posture was darker than last time when Yue Feng was there! It's much better to hold the three sparrows quietly caught from under the eaves.
“Are these sparrows caught together?” Yue Feng asked curiously.
"I asked your mother to go to Uncle Zhao's house in the village to get some medicinal wine to soak the wheat grains and catch him!"
Uncle Zhao in the village is also a hunter, but he only plays with medicinal baits. , after the snow, medicine birds go into the mountains to dig deer cellars for medicine deer in May and June. In normal times, the family grows the land normally, and relies on this craft to feed the five children in the family, and their life is quite comfortable.
"Did you tell Xiaotao about organizing the team?"
"Yes, you did! I mentioned the idea to him, and he agreed without hesitation and told me to wait until dinner. Go find the Zhang brothers!
By the way, today I took Xiao Tao to catch the sand chicken at the edge of the woods by the river, and the big green harrier caught a weasel! "
It was easy to talk! , Yue Feng took out the weasel from his pocket. He didn't bring a skinning knife when he went up the mountain, so he didn't skin it hastily. Now, except for the broken eyes and a little blood on the mouth due to internal bleeding, the weasel still needs to be completely tailed.
“Hey! This little green eagle is so fierce, he actually dares to fuck a weasel?
Are these Nao's eyes? "
After taking a look at the weasel's eyes, Yue Lei couldn't hold it anymore.
Yue Feng nodded: "Yes, the double-clawed tiger is holding its head, with both claws on its face. The large rings on the side claws (eagle nails) seal the weasel's mouth tightly! When I stepped on it and seriously injured it, the big green harrier didn't need my guidance and went straight into the weasel's eyes with its first bite! "
After listening to his son's reconstruction of the battle, Yue Lei nodded: "The big pheasant is nagging its eyes this time, and the weasel is nagging its eyes too. Once in a while, it may be an accident, but twice in a row is objective. It’s a fact!
This eagle is taking good care of me. If it snows and I can catch sables in the mountains, there will be three or five of them in one winter, and our family will be rich! ”
I’m not sure whether it’s possible for the big green harrier to catch the sable Yuefeng until I try it, but the weasel is about the same size as a greyhound, so it’s definitely safe to catch the greyhound with a hawk.
Yue Feng has already made a preliminary plan. When the falconry brigade gathers up and everyone else goes into the mountain to release chickens and flying dragons, Yue Feng will go to Bianying to release greyhounds. That thing is comparable to a weasel. It was much easier to find. We found the right place in the red pine forest on the sunny slope. There were many greyhounds.
...
On the other side, after Xiao Tao returned home, he took Tian Tian Yue Feng with him. The information he mentioned when he went up the mountain to fly eagles was repeated to Li Wentong
Lao Li and Yue Lei have been neighbors for more than 20 years, and they know each other's personalities very well. On the day Yue Feng entered the city for the first time, Li Wentong was entrusted by his good brother to follow him from a distance, but Yue Feng was wary. It's just that the sex is low and it's not discovered.
Li Wentong knew roughly where Yue Feng set up his stall, who he sold to, and even how much he sold for.
Now Yue Feng has roped in Xiao Tao to bring his family together to make money. There is no reason to refuse such a thing.
You can learn the skill of hawking slowly, and catching less is better than sitting idle at home. Even if you can only catch two flying dragons during the day, selling them in the city will still be worth more than two yuan.
In the past, after it snowed every year, his father could always get wild boars, roe deer and other mountain animals from the mountains. Xiao Tao was afraid that his father was too proud and would not bother to do this kind of work of hunting Xiaowei with an eagle.
After receiving his father's approval, Xiao Tao's anxious heart completely relaxed.
After dinner, Xiao Tao went to the Zhang family with a flashlight and mentioned the matter to the Zhang brothers. After learning that Yue Feng was willing to take them to make money together, there was no need to After all the initial investment, Zhang Xiaowen and Zhang Xiaowu decisively agreed without even stuttering.
The two sides agreed to meet at Yue Feng's house the next morning.
At 3:30 the next morning, Yue Feng got out of bed early and got dressed. The village secretary’s bicycle cannot be borrowed every day. The main means of transportation these days still relies on two legs.
With the Feilong and Shabanji he caught yesterday on his back, Yue Feng waited for a few minutes at the door of Xiao Tao's house, and soon Xiao Tao came out fully armed.
"Let's go!"
Yue Feng greeted, and the two brothers left the village along the familiar village road and disappeared into the vast night.
With Xiao Tao as his companion on the road, Yue Feng felt that it was not as boring as before when he was alone. Xiao Tao asked a lot about things in the city on the way, and Yue Feng asked him a question. After many hours of journey, the two brothers arrived at the ghost market without any trouble.
We started half an hour late today, so by the time we arrived at the ghost market, it was almost dawn.
